Overview
The 🗑️ Delete Board List operation for the 📋 BOARD resource in this n8n node allows you to permanently delete a specific list from a board in Planka, a project management tool. This is useful when you want to clean up or reorganize your boards by removing lists that are no longer needed.
Common scenarios:
- Removing obsolete or completed lists from a board.
- Automating board maintenance as part of workflow clean-up.
- Integrating with other automation steps (e.g., archiving cards before deleting a list).
Practical example:
You might use this operation at the end of a sprint to automatically remove all "Done" lists from multiple boards after archiving their cards.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| List ID | String | The unique identifier of the board list to be deleted. Required to specify which list will be removed from the board. |
Output
- The output will be a JSON object reflecting the API response from Planka after attempting to delete the specified list.
- If successful, the response may be empty or contain confirmation details depending on the Planka API implementation.
- If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an
errorfield with the error message.
Example success output:
{}
Example error output (with Continue On Fail):
{
"error": "List not found"
}
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to a running Planka instance with API enabled.
- Authentication: Needs valid Planka API credentials configured in n8n under the credential type
plankaApi. - n8n Configuration: No special environment variables required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid List ID: If the provided List ID does not exist, the API will return an error such as "List not found".
- Insufficient Permissions: The user associated with the API key must have permission to delete lists on the target board.
- Network/API Errors: Connectivity issues or incorrect API base URL can cause failures.
Error messages and resolutions:
"List not found": Double-check the List ID; ensure it exists and is correct."Unauthorized"or"Forbidden": Verify that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions."An unknown error occurred": Check network connectivity and review the full error message for more details.
